One thing I noticed in this video, other than the obvious amazing comparison tones and playing, is how low the pickups are on Larry's guitar. Not sure how low the action is, but assuming it's a typical action setup, the pickups are just above the pick guard. At least from what I can tell in the video.
I've been experimenting with pick-up height on my Strat, trying to find the sweet spot and it's amazing how much you can affect the tone with a Phillips screwdriver.
Yes my neck and bridge are lower to the body. It's joe Knaggs designed tremolo. Non locking though. I do like my pick ups lowere from the strings and you can definitely effect the tone a lot. Oh and my action is by so,e standards. Extremely low! :0)
